Power conversion circuit and method thereof

Abstract

A power conversion circuit and a method thereof, wherein the power conversion circuit includes a first grid interface and a second grid interface coupled to an AC power source, a power harvesting module, a sampling module and a switching module. The power harvesting module is coupled to the first grid interface, and the power harvesting module includes a first diode and a first charging capacitor coupled to the first diode. The power harvesting module receives the AC power source from the first grid interface to generate an output voltage. The switching module includes a switch component controlled by the sampling module. The sampling module is coupled to the power harvesting module and acquires a sampling voltage. The sampling module controls the switch component to be turned off during at least a period of time within positive half cycles of the AC power source.
